Wetlands form a significant ecological basic infrastructure in cities. The condition of ecosystem health will directly affect its ecological and social service function for citizens. The ecosystem health assessment of urban wetlands takes the Aixi Lake in Nanchang city of China as an example. The eco-health assessment of urban wetlands can help urban planning, comprehensive management and provide basis for decision-making. The results indicate that Aixi Lake has a median score of Ecological Health Comprehensive Index method (EHCI) according to the calculations. Based on these results, the specific damage of wetlands ecosystem were identified, which could provide scientific basis for the subsequent ecological restoration and optimizing measures.
